THE NORTH EAST MEDICAL PRACTICE
Many of you had raised some queries regarding the project work. So listing below few tips about what is expected in each section of the report.
Software :List out the software requirements for the medical practice - what kind of software would they use - operating systems, server software, cloud services, vertical/horizontal software etc
Find the approximate number of licenses that would be required and what would be the cost of implementing your plan
Hardware: Find out what & how many devices would be required by the medical practice - you could describe the number of computing devices and networking devices used to connect them all - what would you do in cases of communication failures etc
You would have to find the costs of each equipment that you use in your medical practice and ensure you operate at optimum efficiencies while reducing costs
Database: What database architecture would you use to store the medical records - consider future demands when you opt for a selection
Social Media: Describe how social media would be used in your medical practice
Schematic: The schematic would be a birds-eye view of the entire system.
You would be making a diagram of all the computing devices and their interconnections in a particular location of the medical practice
You would also be making the organization chart for how the entire medical practice is laid out in the US
Suggest improvements to the current architecture and suggest a scheme which would be best optimized for the medical practice.
The development team should undertake the following assignments:
1. Select software for the medical practice to handle the practice's requirements. The software should handle front-end and back-end requirements, and may be cloud-based or onsite server-based.
2. Select all computer hardware for the medical practice including computing platforms used by the listed doctors and other medical staff and the server(s), if used. No parts of the current architecture may be used.
3. Select networking hardware and services to support the communication requirements of the medical practice. Spec out and cost all your hardware, software, data and networking using EXCEL.
4. Select the database architecture and data warehousing architecture to support the daily transactions and the data analytics requirements of the practice.
5. Describe how the medical practice will use social media and integrate that into their data analytics effort.
6. Produce a schematic (diagram) that graphically shows the architecture of the new system i.e., hardware, software, data, people and networking components.
7. Define the expected benefits of the new system and for intangible benefits, produce your assumptions using equivalent real-life case studies and/or best practices.
